Our hog roast hire in WD18
In WD18, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we are often booked for weddings, day or evening and sports clubs and societies.
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What you’ll pay
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear
- Sides to make it a full meal

Planning a hog roast in WD18
WD18 covers everything from Holywell to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Holywell: Parks such as King George V Playing Fields usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Oswald's Parish Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Planning an evening hog roast in Holywell? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Why a hog roast works
There’s very little for you to organise: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. We bring the rest.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- Summer garden parties
- Festive gatherings
- Weddings, day or evening
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
WD18 questions
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
